1 EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, COM(2010)96 final 2010/0056 (COD) C7-0074/10 Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1964/2005 on the tariff rates for bananas EN EN
2 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM Council Regulation (E EC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 esta blished a common organisation of the m arket in bananas in th e European Communities. After the adoption of this Council Regulation, several Latin American WTO Members supplying bananas to the EU on a Most Favoured Nation basis as well as the United States initiated W TO dispute settlement proceed ings agains t the EU (notab ly the long standing disp ute W T/DS27) with respect to th e different treatm ent of bananas introdu ced into the European Union market by different suppliers. On 11 April 2001 and on 30 April 2001, re spectively, the Comm ission reached Understandings with Ecuador and the United S tates which set the cond itions to r esolve the disputes. Those Understandings envisaged the in troduction of a ' tariff regim e only' for the imports of bananas in On 14 Nove mber 2001, the WTO Doha M inisterial Conference adopted waivers from t he EU obligations under Articles I (Doha W aiver) and XIII of the GATT regarding the preferential treatm ent gr anted to products of ACP origin under the Cotonou Agreement. Those waivers established as a condition for the waiver with respect to bananas that the new tariff only regim e to be introduced in 2006 "would result in at least maintaining total m arket access for MFN banana suppliers" and provided for an arbitration mechanism in case of disagreement. On 12 July 2004, the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations under Article XXVIII of the General Agreem ent on Tariffs and Trade 1994 ("GATT 1994") with a view to introducing a tariff only regime for bananas in the EC schedule. Accordingly, the Community notified the WTO on 15 July 2004 of its intention to m odify concessions on item (bananas) in the EC WTO Schedule (CXL). Negotiations were conducted by the Commission in consultation with the Comm ittee established by Article 133 of the Treaty and the Special Committee on Agriculture and within the fram ework of the negotiating di rectives issued by the Council. These negotiations failed to lead to an agreement. On 31 January 2005 the Community notified th e WTO of its intention to replace its concessions on item (bananas) with a bound duty of 230/tonne. On 30 March 2005 several WTO Members (Brazil, Colom bia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatem ala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panam a and Venezuela) requeste d arbitration under th e Doha waiver. The Arbitrator s Award issued on 1 August 2005 concluded that the MFN tariff rate of 230/tonne proposed by the Community was not consistent with the conditions of the Doha Waiver. The Commission revised the Community proposal in light of the arbitrator s findings. In a second arbitration award, issued on 27 October 2005, the Arbitrator concluded that the revised proposal for an MFN tariff rate of 187/tonne also failed to rectify the matter. In view of its obligation to introduce a tariff only regim e by 1 J anuary 2006, and in consideration of the lack of agreement on a bound duty, the EU introdu ced an applied MFN duty of 176/tonne through Council Regulatio n (EC) No 1964/2005. This regulation also opened an autonom ous tariff quota of tonnes net weight subject to a zero-duty rate for im ports of bananas originating in ACP countries. The EU did not notify any further proposal to modify its tariff schedule on bananas, pending an agreem ent with MF N banana suppliers. Since 1 January 2008, ACP banana suppliers have enjoy duty-free quota-free access to the EU market on the basis of Economic Partnership Agreements with the EU. EN 2 EN
3 On 23 Febr uary 2007 and on 29 J une 2007, respectively, Ecuador and the United States requested the establishm ent of a panel pur suant to Article 21.5 of the W TO Dispute Settlement Understanding concerning the alleged inconsistency with the WTO agreements of measures adopted by the EU to com ply w ith the W TO Dispute Settlem ent Body (DSB) reports in th e dispute WT/DS27. The final repo rts were ad opted by th e DSB in Decem ber The report in the case brought by Ecuador stated that the EU applied tariff ( 176/tonne) on bananas was inconsistent with the EU tari ff bindings under GATT Both reports also ruled that the preferen ce grante d by the EU at the tim e of th e es tablishment of the pane l ( tonnes duty free) was inconsistent with the GATT On 22 March 2004 and on 29 January 2007 the C ouncil authorised the Comm ission to open negotiations under Article XXIV: 6 of the GATT 1994 in the cour se of the accession to the European Union of the Czech Republic, the Repub lic of Estonia, the R epublic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia, the Slovak Republic and the Republic of Bulgaria and the Republic of Romania, respectively. The negotiations under Article X XVIII and Article XXIV:6 of the GATT 1994 were successfully concluded on 15 December 2009 by the initialling of a "Geneva Agreement on Trade in Bananas" with Brazil, Colom bia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatem ala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panam a, Peru and Venezu ela ("the Geneva Agreem ent") and of an "Agreement on Trade in Bananas" with the United States of Am erica (the "EU/US Agreement"). The agreements negotiated by the C ommission provide for the settlement of the claims of the countries concerned under Articles XXIV:6 and XXVIII of the GATT. In addition, they implement the Understandings by binding a ' tariff regime only' and provide a solution to all the pending disputes concerning the tariff treatm ent of banana s, which should therefore be formally settled upon certification of the new EU tariff schedule on bananas. With the Geneva Agre ement enter ing in to f orce, it is the refore ne cessary to abo lish the existing applied EU MFN tariff rate for the importation of bananas by repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1964/2005 of 29 Nove mber 2005 on the tariff rates for bananas which established the currently applied rate of 176/tonne.
